    LZX Connect 1.3.6

    Bugfix release: program library upload reliability and firmware version display.

    Fixed in 1.3.5

    • Program library upload — Classify USB disconnect (broken pipe) with actionable errors; skip Windows recovery when device reset mid-transfer
    • Firmware version display — Do not cache stale RC when device is faulted; clear version when flash starts
    • Embedded catalog — Diver 1.0.2 final; remove dead fallback URLs for CDN-only legacy DFU artifacts

    Requires Videomancer firmware

    Program library uploads also need Videomancer 1.0.0-rc.40 (watchdog feeding during SD writes).

    Supported devices

    • Videomancer (UF2)
    • Scrolls, Diver, Escher Sketch (STM32 DFU)
    • TBC2 Mk2 (autodownload)

    Artifacts

    • Windows: MSI + NSIS setup
    • macOS: universal DMG (Apple Silicon + Intel)

    programs/1.0.3 Stable

    lars released this 2026-08-05 08:46:45 +00:00 | 0 commits to main since this release

    Official Videomancer program library 1.0.3.

    Rebuilt and Ed25519-signed for rev_b against current videomancer-sdk (aligned with Videomancer 1.0.0-rc.45 desk verification).

    37 / 40 release-stage SD programs packed for rev_b.

    Not included (build failed this pass):

    • flock — SD timing constraint
    • rollshut — nextpnr placement (over LC capacity)
    • stoa — SD timing constraint

    lars released this 2026-08-05 05:26:52 +00:00 | 0 commits to main since this release

    Videomancer 1.0.0-rc.45

    Desk HIL acceptance gate at 180/184 (98%) — all dual analog cable legs green; harness fixes only (same MCU/firmware as rc.44).

    Changes

    • HIL harness (vmtest) — YYY 1V skips meaningless chroma bar ROIs; dual HD offset tolerance aligned to desk data (48px); program_reload uses in-place load_program + analog re-lock (fixes 1080p30 YPbPr AC false fail); float32 shift search avoids 1080p OOM; bars75 black-bar edge excluded on 1V DC.
    • Desk verification — Full 184-case progressive acceptance on 1.0.0-rc.43+56 / rc.44-class firmware: composite, S-Video, YPbPr AC, RGsB, RGB 1V, YPbPr 1V all pass; r0 HDMI (4) expected without analog generator.
    • Includes rc.44 — Dual analog EXT sync (RGsB, composite/S-Video, YPbPr AC), Gate E 27/27 program scan.

    Requires

    • Flash 1.0.0-rc.45 UF2 (MCU + embedded programs). Functionally equivalent to rc.44; re-flash recommended for version parity on SYSTEM screen.
    • LZX Connect 1.3.5 or newer recommended.

    Beta testing focus

    Goals: lifecycle/beta/goals/1.0.0-rc.45.yaml.

    1. Confirm rc.44 analog fixes — Dual passthru bars at 720p60 / 1080p30 on your usual cable legs.
    2. Heavy programs — Lumarian / Moire / Mycelium / Pinwheel on HD Dual.
    3. Report regressions — Any leg that passed on rc.43/rc.44 but fails on rc.45.

    Videomancer 1.0.0-rc.44

    Dual analog loopback stability for 1.0.0 readiness — RGsB, composite/S-Video, and YPbPr AC EXT sync restored at HD.

    Changes

    • RGsB dual loopback (a4-3) — FPGA EXT HS/VS on r_gs_b at 720p/1080p; ADV7181 STDI/SOG alone did not lock the HD return leg. Desk HIL: 22/22 recovered on acceptance slice.
    • Composite / S-Video dual loopback (a0-0, a0-1) — Restore FPGA EXT sync on the YPbPr CP path when Dual remaps CVBS/Y-C at HD; fixes cb_cr_swapped, bar failures, and composite→composite hue shift. Desk HIL: 11/11 at 720p60 and 1080p30 per leg.
    • YPbPr AC dual loopback (a1-2) — Same EXT sync regression as composite when fpga_drives_decoder_sync() replaced blanket dual-mode sync. Anchor leg 11/11 at 720p60 and 1080p30.
    • Gate E program scan — All 27/27 embedded programs register on program scan (pre-release filter applies to SD-only mem:/ paths only).
    • Includes rc.43 — H Phase Out/In, unified Sync Out LC fix, full 27-program HD Dual rebuild.

    Requires

    • Flash 1.0.0-rc.44 UF2 (MCU + embedded programs). Not interchangeable with rc.43 program packs alone.
    • LZX Connect 1.3.5 or newer recommended.

    Beta testing focus

    Goals: lifecycle/beta/goals/1.0.0-rc.44.yaml.

    1. Dual analog legs — Passthru color bars at 720p60 / 1080p30 on YPbPr (a1-2), composite (a0-0), S-Video (a0-1), and RGsB (a4-3).
    2. Composite hue — Dual composite→composite loopback; confirm stable hue vs rc.43 (no catastrophic shift).
    3. Heavy programs — Lumarian / Moire / Mycelium / Pinwheel on HD Dual (regression vs rc.43).

    Videomancer 1.0.0-rc.43

    H Phase Out/In for dual IO, unified Sync Out LC fix, and full 27-program HD Dual pack rebuild.

    Changes

    • H Phase Out / In (dual IO) — OLED settings and SPI registers 0x0A / 0x0B trim Sync Out phase and EXT analog-in delay on dual routing. Desk validation: serial smoke 8/8 + HIL h-phase gate 10/10.
    • Unified Sync Out generator — single video_sync_generator on vid_clk with program-input reference (dual and non-dual). Removes duplicate HDMI-RX-domain generator that exceeded HX4K LC on Lumarian, Moire, Mycelium, and Pinwheel HD Dual builds.
    • dual_sync_delay BRAM — split read/write inference with registered-read compensation in dual_ext_sync_delay_total.
    • All 27 embedded vmprogs rebuilt and signed — Lumarian pipeline delay trim; Mycelium wet-only chroma mix on HD Dual (luma wet/dry unchanged).
    • Includes rc.42 — HD progressive dual passthru CP lock, RTL external-sync delay, and PAL 576i regression fixes.

    Requires

    • Flash 1.0.0-rc.43 UF2 (MCU + embedded programs). Not interchangeable with rc.42 program packs alone.
    • LZX Connect 1.3.5 or newer recommended.

    Beta testing focus

    Goals: lifecycle/beta/goals/1.0.0-rc.43.yaml.

    1. H Phase Out/In — Dual routing; trim Sync Out and Analog In phase at 720p60 and 1080p30 on YPbPr and RGB 1V loops.
    2. Heavy programs on HD Dual — Load Lumarian, Moire, Mycelium, Pinwheel; confirm picture lock and no unlock on mode switch.
    3. HD dual passthru regression — 720p60 / 1080p30 color bars on YPbPr (a1-2) and RGB 1V (a2-4).

    Videomancer 1.0.0-rc.42

    HD progressive dual analog passthru fix — ADV7181 CP lock, RTL external-sync delay, HIL banding metric.

    Changes

    • HD dual passthru (720p60 / 1080p30) — Stop applying NTSC HS-position CP overrides on HD progressive dual lock; set invert_cr_cb for external-sync HD. Fixes ~33px offset, Cb/Cr swap, and bar-level failures on YPbPr and RGB 1V loopback legs.
    • RTL dual sync delay — HD progressive timings use 17 LLC clocks (was 50) in dual_ext_sync_delay_clks; passthru bitstream rebuilt.
    • Desk HIL — banding_spectral ignores full-width shallow-ramp curvature (false positives on analog legs). Desk validation: 7/7 on HD dual failure slice; dual rcguard sim guards green.
    • Includes rc.41 — PAL dual 576i passthru CP + RTL delay fixes and refreshed embedded vmprog pack.

    Requires

    • Flash 1.0.0-rc.42 UF2 (MCU + embedded programs). Not interchangeable with rc.40/rc.41 program packs alone.
    • LZX Connect 1.3.5 or newer recommended.

    Goals: lifecycle/beta/goals/1.0.0-rc.42.yaml.

    1. HD dual 720p60 / 1080p30 — Routing Dual; YPbPr (a1-2) and RGB 1V (a2-4) loops; passthru color bars.
    2. PAL dual 576i — Regression vs rc.41; YPbPr loop at 576i50.
    3. Program library — Install official pack via Connect after flash.

    lars released this 2026-08-01 03:46:21 +00:00 | 0 commits to main since this release

    Videomancer 1.0.0-rc.40

    Program-library upload reliability — watchdog feeding during SD writes, plus desk HIL automation hooks.

    Changes

    • Program-library upload watchdog — Feed the RP2040 watchdog during fs put / FatFS commits so long program-library transfers no longer reset mid-upload (host sees USB hangup / broken pipe on macOS, Linux, and Windows). Pairs with LZX Connect 1.3.5.
    • Shell developer hooks — screen dump and ui inject (developer mode only) for desk vmtest / UI automation; no customer-facing behavior change unless developer mode is enabled.
    • Desk HIL harness (repo-only) — vmtest round-2 fixes; no FPGA or embedded pack changes vs rc.39.

    Requires

    • Flash 1.0.0-rc.40 UF2 (MCU only — same signed vmprog packs as rc.39).
    • LZX Connect 1.3.5 or newer for improved upload error handling.

    Beta testing focus

    Goals: lifecycle/beta/goals/1.0.0-rc.40.yaml.

    1. Program library upload — Install or refresh an official program pack via Connect; confirm no mid-transfer reset or broken pipe.
    2. Dual RGB 1V bars — Quick regression at 720p60 / 1080p30 (same as rc.39).
    3. HDMI / standalone smoke — Passthru bars still lock and display.

    diver/1.0.2 Stable

    lars released this 2026-07-31 08:20:59 +00:00 | 0 commits to main since this release

    Diver firmware 1.0.2 — final release.

    Built from the community repo homegrownVHS/diver-firmware-community at commit 471be9cc.

    What's new

    • TVP5150 microprocessor restart (Issue #6, startup freeze): explicit write of 0x00 to
      register 0x7F at the top of TVP5150AM1_Setup() restarts the on-die ROM v4.00
      microprocessor per TI SLEA093 section 1.2. Earlier firmware relied on the power-up
      default and never issued this restart, leaving the sync-lock loop a nondeterministic
      start. This addresses the startup-freeze race that could require multiple power cycles.

    Cumulative since 1.0.0

    • Horizontal seam / ramp discontinuity (Issue #1) — fixed in 1.0.1
    • vwave mirror boundary missing sample (Issue #7) — fixed in 1.0.1
    • Dual variable definition across translation units (Issue #8) — fixed in 1.0.1
    • State not saved on power cycle (Issue #4) — wear-leveled persistence, fixed in 1.0.1
    • Frame tearing from mid-session sector erase (Issue #9) — fixed in 1.0.1
    • TVP5150 VCR-mode auto-switch glitches — VCR lock forced, added in 1.0.1
    • H-phase CV ADC noise / edge shimmer (Issue #3) — partially mitigated in 1.0.1

    Known issues carried forward

    • Intermittent sync blip on some sources (low)
    • H-phase CV ADC noise: partial mitigation only
    • Shapes not centred horizontally (HPHASE_OFFSET is per-unit); calibration planned

    Recommended file: diver_1.0.2.dfu — flash over rear USB in DFU mode.

    Identical to 1.0.2-rc.1; no code changed at promotion to final.
